Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Chen Xing's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he politely extended his hand.

He gave her a gentle handshake: "Hello, Chen Xing."

It feels soft and delicate to the touch.

Qiu Wenwen only gripped it lightly before letting go, but she didn't pull away.

Instead, it moved even closer, tilting its head back.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she looked Chen Xing up and down, making admiring clicks of her tongue.

Wow! He's so much taller in person than in photos and videos!

"This aura... it's icy cold, yet it feels so powerful!"

"No wonder they were able to rampage through the Darkblood Ruins for two weeks and bring back so many materials!"

"The 'Dark Blood Asura' lives up to its name! (✪ω✪)"

She was very close, exuding a faint girlish aura.

Chen Xing felt somewhat uncomfortable under her undisguised scrutiny and enthusiasm.

Subconsciously, I took a small half-step back, creating some distance between us.

However, just as he stepped back...

When my gaze inadvertently swept over Qiu Wenwen, I was distracted by her sudden appearance.

Those piercing eyes.

It fluctuated uncontrollably!

hum.

Deep within his pupils, a wisp of golden light, thinner than a strand of hair, flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Chen Xing's vision underwent a subtle change in that instant.

Qiu Wenwen in front of me.

He seemed to become transparent for a moment—

With his keen eyesight, he instinctively began to analyze the energy flow around her body.

The strength of one's Qi and blood, and... the outline hidden by clothing.

Chen Xing's gaze inevitably swept over the cat paw pattern stretched taut by the white T-shirt.

And the full, astonishing curve below. Under the extremely clear vision of a discerning eye.

That impressive silhouette, that amazing elasticity.

And below, there is a subtle flow.

The faint glow representing powerful blood and vitality is so vivid and impactful!

"!!!"

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he almost instantly severed the faint energy of the Fiery Eyes.

At the same time, he circulated his qi and blood to completely suppress that slight, inappropriate fluctuation!

The golden light deep within his pupils completely disappeared, and his vision returned to normal.

He immediately looked away and gazed at the holographic screen on the side of the hall.

He tried his best to maintain his usual calm and indifferent expression, but his ears couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Silently repeat to yourself: Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper...

"I am Chen Xing."

He tried to make his voice sound as calm as usual.

He added, "He's also here to take on missions."

Trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"I know you! Dark Blood Asura, huh!"

"The news about the Linjiang City base station is going viral! Over ten million worth of materials! That's incredible!"

Qiu Wenwen seemed completely oblivious to Chen Xing's slight change in expression just a moment ago.

Still smiling, her eyes curved into crescents, her tone full of sincere praise.

"Good luck."

Chen Xing gave a brief response, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

"Luck is also a part of ability!"

Qiu Wenwen waved her hand, then suddenly moved even closer, her amber almond-shaped eyes looking intently at Chen Xing.

His tone carried a hint of surprise and inquiry.

"However... Chen Xing, your aura... feels incredibly strong."

"You're only at the peak of the second realm according to the data, but I'm standing next to you."

"They seem even scarier than the senior students I met at the training camp who were at the third level."

"There's a kind of... well, indescribable sense of oppression about you, like a sleeping lion."

Chen Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

"You're not bad either."

Chen Xing glanced at her and gave his honest assessment.

He could sense that Qiu Wenwen's vital energy was extremely vigorous and refined, and her foundation was incredibly solid.

His cultivation level had clearly reached the middle stage of the second realm.

As expected of the sixth-ranked student nationwide and the top scorer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, his talent and strength are beyond doubt.

"Heh heh, not even close! Compared to you, who can kill a peak third-tier monster, I'm still a long way off!"

Qiu Wenwen, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant, cheerfully acknowledging the difference in their abilities.

Then she seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up.

Take two steps back to create a distance that is both appropriate for conversation and polite.

With his hands behind his back, his body slightly leaning forward, and a bright, battle-ready smile on his face:

"By the way! Chen Xing, the freshman competition starts in less than a month!"

"We freshmen will definitely be facing off against each other then!"

Her eyes stared directly at Chen Xing, the light within them burning and pure.

"Chen Xing, see you at the freshman competition! I won't hold back then!"

"Even though I might not be able to beat you, I'll do my best to show you the prowess of the top students from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

「(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧」

After saying that, she waved her fist at Chen Xing, making a cheering gesture.

Then she turned around gracefully, her ponytail swinging in the air in a clean and crisp arc.

She strode out of the mission hall, her beautiful legs encased in yoga pants.

Chen Xing watched her figure disappear through the door, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

This girl named Qiu Wenwen has a personality similar to those who are either reserved or...

So-called geniuses, whether aloof or harboring hidden thoughts, are quite different.

She is enthusiastic, cheerful, confident, and yet knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries, making her hard to dislike.

"Brother Xing~"

Xiao Xiao's voice, brimming with gossip and teasing, echoed softly in Chen Xing's mind, its tone drawn out.

"Did you... accidentally see something you shouldn't have seen, Qiu-kun just now? (◔‿◔)"

Chen Xing remained expressionless, even his mental reply was completely flat:

"No. A slight fluctuation accidentally escaped. An accident."

"Oh—it was an accident—it was unintentional—I understand, I understand~"

Xiao Xiao's tone took eighteen turns, full of "I don't believe you at all" vibes.

"But Brother Xing, Qiu Wenwen's figure... is really amazing!"

"That data, tsk tsk, I just scanned and recorded it... Oops!"

"Shut up. Get down to business."

Chen Xing interrupted Xiao Xiao's increasingly absurd analysis with a blank expression.

I walked up to the self-service terminal and swiped my SS+ student card.

The screen lights up, displaying his personal information and a list of available tasks.

He directly opened the search bar and entered the keywords:

"079 Demon Cave", "Outer Reconnaissance", "Abnormal Activity".

brush--!

A dozen or so related tasks popped up on the screen, ranging from simple intelligence gathering at level D.

The range of operations extends to in-depth clean-up operations at the S-level, and so on.

Chen Xing's gaze swept quickly across the area.

Ultimately, the focus narrowed down to a task marked with an "A+" rating:

[Mission ID]: N-079-Reconnaissance-042

[Task Level]: A+

[Mission Content]: Based on intelligence from the Southern Theater Command and frontline outposts.

In the outer area of ​​Demon Cave No. 079, the frequency of monster activity has increased abnormally recently, and there are signs of slow infiltration into human-controlled areas.

Elite personnel need to be dispatched to the area for detailed reconnaissance.

Collect information on the scale, types, and movements of monster gatherings, and investigate the causes of any anomalies as much as possible.

If necessary, small groups of infiltrating monsters that have been identified can be eliminated as a warning.

[Task Rewards]:

Shenzhen Wushu University credits: 1500 points

Intelligence Value Bonus: Additional bonus based on the value of the intelligence (no upper limit).

Elimination Contribution Rewards: Additional rewards will be calculated based on the success of the elimination efforts.

[Task Requirements]:

• The recipient must be a martial artist of the third realm or above.

• It is recommended to accept the mission in an elite team of 3-5 people. Accepting it alone is extremely risky and requires additional assessment of combat strength.

[Mission Location]: Southern Theater Command, buffer zone surrounding Demon Cave No. 079

[Task Deadline]:

Within three days of receiving the equipment, you must report to the Southern Theater Command (Shenzhen Branch) to receive a briefing and equipment allocation.

The reconnaissance period is expected to be 7-15 days.

Grade A+, involving the outer perimeter of Cave 079.

The rewards are generous, but the requirements are also high. Teamwork is strongly recommended, and solo play is extremely risky.

But Chen Xing's gaze lingered for a moment on the phrase "an additional combat capability assessment is required."

Without hesitation, he clicked the "Apply for Acceptance" button.

A prompt appeared on the screen:

[Checking recipient information and conditions... Recipient: Chen Xing, SS+ student of Shenzhen Martial Arts University, Realm: Second Realm Warrior (Peak).]

[Conditions not met, initiating additional combat capability assessment procedure...]

[Under evaluation...Under evaluation...]

The cursor on the screen blinked a few times, seemingly retrieving Chen Xing's relevant combat records.

Task completion status, and... possibly some data from higher privileges.

Approximately five seconds later.

[Ding! Combat capability assessment passed! Overall assessment: Possesses the potential to undertake A+ level solo reconnaissance missions.]

[WARNING: This task is rated "Extremely High" risk. Please consider carefully. Confirm acceptance?]

"Confirmed." Chen Xing replied without hesitation.

[Accepted successfully! Mission ID N-079-Reconnaissance-042 has been bound.]

Please report to the Southern Theater Command within three days.

Failure to report by the deadline will be considered as abandonment of the task, and corresponding reputation points will be deducted.

"It passed?! It really passed?!"
